Starting on pills tomorrow :/

good luck on this remember the tablets work on FULL fat.

basic's to remember:

stick within your 30gm's of FULL fat per day - easiest way I have found is to split it between three meals. 5 for breakfast, 10 for lunch and 15 for dinner. If you manage not to hot those amount you then have room left for some treats.

Don't buy any foods that are over 5gm's per 100gm's of FULL fat.

Drink clear fluids, water, green tea's.

Try not to eat after 18.30.

Hey, ty for your reply.... i have had my 3 pills today but think i have been too careful?? Not had even 15g fat today I feel that if i dare eat a biscuit or something im being bad! Urgghhhh !! Should i aim for 30g a day or does it matter if i eat under this?? Confuzed!

1 pill, chicken salad sandwich ( low fat ) fat free yoghurt

1 pill, Sweet and sour chicken and rice

from that list you are not eating anywhere near enough. It does sound silly but you do not to eat to enable your body to lose weight, You just have to eat the right foods.

Today I have had:

Breakfast - Cup of tea, bowl of mixed cereal, fruit and fibre, special k and shreddies with a sprinkling of cranberries. skimmed milk

Lunch - tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, low fat hot cross bun. couple of cups of water.

Tea - Pasta bake with garlic bread. WW caramel crunch dessert.

May have a chocolate snack a jack before bed with a cuppa.

Also from your list a point on banana's - no more than 3 a week

Don't let yourself go hungry as this will not help you to keep to the diet. There are loads of low fat treat options around so you can still get chocolate/sugar fixes if needed. and as you already have no fat yoghurt's which is good and WW do some nice dessert pots that are scrummy.

Hi, I think it would be a good idea, especially for newcomers, if we put on what we have eaten in a day, this way we can help the them and also each other.

Today I have had

Poridge oats mixed with toffee mullerlight

Strawberries and grapes

Mid morning 1 alpen bar

Lunch, low fat ham sandwich, wholemeal bread, no marg but pickle

Bag of Sainsburys BGTY Chedder & Red Onion Crisps

Apple

Thatis really useful, seeing what everyone is eating. I don't think I have been eating enough either, I am so keen to lose weight at the moment and so scared of what might happen if I eat any fat!

Advise from my nurse as they are full of natural sugars.

The point of eating enough food is that if you don't the body will just go into starvation mode and try and conserve your fat stores to enable your body to function.

from looking at this i am too not eating enough, i think when you start out you worry even more about what you eat but reading these was extremely helpful thanks girls xx

I agree with you sodetermined, I am on my first week of the pills and am eating very little because I want the doc to be really impressed with me!

Hiya, re: the banana thing - I too love banana's but it is the same if you follow the GI diet, it's all about the natural sugars as Suza said.
